Does anyone know what rights they think he'll take away? I didn't vote for him by the way. I really want to know. I'm having a hard time comprehending why this would be happening in day two???? Everyone seems to be jumping for joy about it.

If ANY person at the protest today supported Hillary, they were ok with a woman who's husband got a blowjob from an intern and lied about it. Billy Clinton was a bigger woman abuser than trump and you best not support a woman who was ok sharing her bed for years and years with him. Hypocrites.
Oh that takes me back to that whole Tom Cruise thing. Had a big crush on Katie Holmes in my late teens. Not so much anymore but I'm glad she's come to her senses. That HBO Scientology documentary that came out just makes me hate him even more. What a douche.

^^^ You had no idea that Madonna was going to be part of the march?
Celebrities weren't the reason I went. I remembered that Katy Perry was going.
What specific reason was it that you went? What were you protesting for exactly.
Reproductive freedom.
Understanding that. Where have these historic crowds been since they clearly were not at the voting booth?
what part of 2.9 million LESS votes dont you get? Precedent Trump received 2.9 frwer votes than Clinton.
What part don't you get that President Trump won with those numbers?
Trolling prettyl hardcore today PJfan. Don't let the karma bite you back.
That was very fox newish with the way you quoted me to fit your purpose.
Sorry @mcgruff10. Accidental. Didn't mean to include that. Sometimes hard to catch those on my phone display. My disdain lies with PJfans trolling.
Why is it trolling to question what is going on and to give your opinion. I'm still trying to figure out why they felt it necessary to do the march and protest on day two of his presidency. Did this have to do with past and present administrations taking women's rights away.

Look at trump's policies as well as his own conduct toward women if you need an answer to your question.

I can see the trump voters have really taken Obama's hope and change slogan to heart. They seem to be hoping for the best despite their vote for someone who has brought on #trumpregrets. And I see you skipped the part where I brought up trump's conduct towards women. I understand it's difficult for trump voters to admit they voted for a sex offender while at the same time they probably check the web page weekly to see if any sex offenders have moved into the neighborhood.
So when does this march end? I mean does someone say "ok folks, thanks for coming, time to go home now"? The longer this goes on the greater chance it will end in violence.
Nope, we just kept walking. I consider it the march that didn't end. There were so many people chanting could be heard from five different streets meeting at a major traffic area. My twin and I stopped at the White House to end it for us. I decided to go to Dupont Circle for something to eat, and I guess other people did too. The chants continued as we walked away from the White House for about 20 minutes. No violence. Awesome day!
That is awesome. Helping the DC economy. Hopefully all the marchers contributed to the local economy as you did. Perhaps that will help raise the stagnated median income of the country. In one day, you may have accomplished more then Obama did in 8 years.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

I can assure you I didn't vote for Trump. I could say a lot of negatives about the disgusting thing Trump said and also about what some people think reproductive freedom should entail but I won't. I was just trying to find out their reasoning of why they would plan a march so soon after he was sworn in.

Is it really a mystery? Come on. It's on day one because it sends a message early. What happened today is unprecedented.

I wouldn't ever worry about Melania, never under estimate a woman they're some very smart people. She has the President right where she wants him, I believe there's more to her wanting to stay in NYC with her son until this school terms ends. She'll probably tell the President 50-100 million or I'm seeking a divorce before whenever you leave office. He will give it to her just avoid the embarrassment of a divorce while in office even though I'm sure there's a prenuptial agreement somewhere. To me she appears to be one unhappy woman and for now she's doing what she's told to do but just wait, she has time on her hands.

And to add to this ^^^^ She probably has been told not to speak out about yesterday's women's march lol she's the 1st lady and over 1million marched opposing her husbands policy lol

How does she appear unhappy to you? I love how people attribute feelings to others to fit their needed sense of reality.
As to not moving to DC and not really involving their 10 yo in the adult pagentry, bravo to them as parents. I'm not saying right or wrong, but it's good they're making their own decisions about their child rather than being beholden to tradition and exposing their child who has already had a rather unique upbringing to the additional media and social scrutiny the office brings. And while he brings even more on himself (though honestly, how much more than the Presidency can you get?), controlling that aspect of their child's life is impressive. And besides, he probably has all the tambourines he needs.....
She's sad and holding him hostage. Too funny. Maybe it's true, but I have no idea how you could possible conjecture that seriously from what you have access to.
And btw, I think the one thing we can all agree on (and Bill Clinton has already cast his eye vote on), this is one impressively good looking White House.... it is already definitely best ever in something. So there's that.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Ok, so the march is over now. What has changed besides the memory of Madonna saying “To our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, f--- you! F--- you! It is the beginning of much-needed change.”?

Hey I'm not saying I'm right.......It's just my feeling seeing them together she appears to be unhappy. I work a mile from his winter White House Mar Largo here on Palm Beach Island and she hardly ever is with smile when they're together around town. I hope they CAN be happy together for a long time but I keep in mind this is his third time down the aisle. I wish them well along with our country we shall see how it goes the first day in office has been oddly funny to me.

I'm not sure your point (other than correctly pointing out the hypocrisy of the needed fame mirror that the protestors needed). It sounded like it was an enormous group of people that for the most part were peaceful (you're always going to have a few things that happen) trying to get their message out. Why does that bother you so much?
What I find ironic is everyone is trying to replicate what MLK did and it's ineffective because where he was marching for real change, the copycats have no real clear agenda other than their perceived persecution (whereas MLK's was real and thus why beyond his own force of nature his cause was so effective and still resonates to this day).
They want to protect abortion rights and planned parenthood? Ummmm. Do they know that 5 of the justices that voted to uphold Roe still sit on the Court and 2 others including the Chief Justice are not staunchly against it? As for planned parenthood, do the marchers know that if 100 of the celebrities that patted themselves on the back rather than effecting real change each pledged $5 million dollars a year, they could fill the federal funding gap if that were to be ceased. That would also alleviate half a billion in deficit spending each year to the growing deficit. Not saying the Feds should stop funding it, but just pointing out what should be obvious to those great Americans such as Madonna if they are so aggrieved and wanted to really help in a meaningful way.
And under the did you know column - did you know it was Richard Nixon who signed Title X giving federal funds to planned parenthood? Oh the horror.
Anyway, I know it was about more than that, but I think it's great folks got together and did what they wanted to have their voices heard in a peaceful way while obstructing people's daily lives as little as possible. Some of the idiots that have been rioting over Trumps election in Portland, NYC, etc over the last couple months should take note. Whether you think it's effective or not is a fine debate, but you seem to take it a step further in your litany of posts as if they shouldn't have done it. Who cares?

Why is it trolling to question what is going on and to give your opinion. I'm still trying to figure out why they felt it necessary to do the march and protest on day two of his presidency. Did this have to do with past and present administrations taking women's rights away.
Your question isn't trolling. If you're not familiar with these forums than you may not be aware of certain members who simply try to stir the pot without a care for relevant discussion.
As to your question, I think it's been answered several times in this thread or you can go out and read their mission statement. I would also hope that anyone paying attention is taking note of the lack of acknowledgement by Trump. Instead we get scoldings from his press secretary and tweets concerning his outright lies on the record attendance at his inauguration. That's where the focus of the new administration is being directed. Utter insane egotistical bullshit.

As to not moving to DC and not really involving their 10 yo in the adult pagentry, bravo to them as parents. I'm not saying right or wrong, but it's good they're making their own decisions about their child rather than being beholden to tradition and exposing their child who has already had a rather unique upbringing to the additional media and social scrutiny the office brings. And while he brings even more on himself (though honestly, how much more than the Presidency can you get?), controlling that aspect of their child's life is impressive. And besides, he probably has all the tambourines he needs.....
She's sad and holding him hostage. Too funny. Maybe it's true, but I have no idea how you could possible conjecture that seriously from what you have access to.
And btw, I think the one thing we can all agree on (and Bill Clinton has already cast his eye vote on), this is one impressively good looking White House.... it is already definitely best ever in something. So there's that.
Peace

What I find ironic is everyone is trying to replicate what MLK did and it's ineffective because where he was marching for real change, the copycats have no real clear agenda other than their perceived persecution (whereas MLK's was real and thus why beyond his own force of nature his cause was so effective and still resonates to this day).
They want to protect abortion rights and planned parenthood? Ummmm. Do they know that 5 of the justices that voted to uphold Roe still sit on the Court and 2 others including the Chief Justice are not staunchly against it? As for planned parenthood, do the marchers know that if 100 of the celebrities that patted themselves on the back rather than effecting real change each pledged $5 million dollars a year, they could fill the federal funding gap if that were to be ceased. That would also alleviate half a billion in deficit spending each year to the growing deficit. Not saying the Feds should stop funding it, but just pointing out what should be obvious to those great Americans such as Madonna if they are so aggrieved and wanted to really help in a meaningful way.
And under the did you know column - did you know it was Richard Nixon who signed Title X giving federal funds to planned parenthood? Oh the horror.
Anyway, I know it was about more than that, but I think it's great folks got together and did what they wanted to have their voices heard in a peaceful way while obstructing people's daily lives as little as possible. Some of the idiots that have been rioting over Trumps election in Portland, NYC, etc over the last couple months should take note. Whether you think it's effective or not is a fine debate, but you seem to take it a step further in your litany of posts as if they shouldn't have done it. Who cares?
Wonderful.
